Good evening all
I was at a local county park here in Southeast Texas today. One of the park attendance was telling me that soon people will not be able to take photographs in the park because there have been a lot of professional photographers taking professional pictures at the park and selling them. He told me that this is against park rules. I told him that I was just a beginning photography enthusiast and will probably never be good enough to sell my photographs. He told me that for now no problem at all but in the future even photography enthusiast will not be able to take pictures in the park because it is too hard for them to tell if the photographer is a enthusiast or professional.
I am not sure if this park attendant had all the facts or miss informed because it seems to me unlikely for a county park to say you can't take pictures of wildlife and things happening in the park.
Have any of you heard of this and what do you think. Do you think that Texas parks would be able to ban photographing.
